Points systems leave alot of money on the table, but they are a ponzi scheme and no hunter should be in favor of preference systems. They can only work correctly if the demand remains stable. Not only are they seldom stable, they are never better, and they are never in favor of NR.
Idaho has the best draw system in the world. No need to change it now. Plenty of opportunity for OTC hunters both resident and non resident and a chance at some of the best draw hunts, both OIL and other, every year in the west…whats not to like?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Log in to your account in order to get "in line," and can't have a bunch of phones, tablets, computers getting a place or clogging the system. Limit in person buys to one tag other than yourself, no buying for 5 or 10 others. Family with the same last name excluded from that limit. Just those two should have a big impact.

That would eliminate the in-person advantage over others attempting to buy tags.So you’re saying the people who took the extra effort and took time off and drove over shouldn’t be aloud to buy because why? Early bird gets the worm bud make the extra effort

Compared to Washington, Idaho is doing things right. Lots of OTC opportunities, the draw is straight forward with none of this point crap.
So glad I moved here 5 years ago! No draw system. I was able to draw and fill my moose tag in 3 years. My wife drew hers the first year she applied. She didn't get her moose, but in 2 years she can start applying again.
Love Idaho’s current nonres system - hope they don’t change it.
